During the final minute of play, it looked it was becoming more clear to the Lightning players that their winning streak was about to end. With just over 20 seconds remaining and the Avalanche leading 2-1, the puck went into Tampa's zone and Kucherov who had just broke his stick went to the bench for a new one and the trainer didn't have one immediately ready to go and Kucherov was pissed.
Kucherov rips off his gloves and throws them at the trainer out of pure anger.
The Avalanche would kill off the final minute of play and become the 2022 Stanley Cup Champions!
What in the world was Nikita Kucherov doing in the final 25 seconds of that hockey game? #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/3IJxuIQpeK� Nick Murray (@NickMurray91) June 27, 2022
Kucherov broke his stick and heads to the bench. The equipment manager doesn't have one ready, so he chucks his gloves at him and quits.
Wow. https://t.co/5lYzClE7i6� Nasher (@TheNasher61) June 27, 2022
